MK5 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Dale's had a look at Nina Not sure whats going on but petrol is coming out of her exhaust. Dale suggests trying a different carb, but i think its time to go 2.8 is there anyone out there that can supply and fit a carbed 2.8 don't really want injection, but will consider it at a push...
MK5 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Posted October 27, 2007 would also consider a 2.0 Pinto conversion
Copey Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 go for a 2.1 pinto, will kick the shit out of a 2.8i
ASBO CAPRI Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 To fit a carb on a 2.8i you'd need a 2.3 cologne inlet manifold fitted with a 38 dgas carb from a 3.0 essex. Trouble is 2.3 manifolds are like hens teeth u might find one on ebay if your lucky. but as copey points out a mildly modded pinto could easily be on par or better than a 2.8 engine.
bomber1 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 i thought it was a 2.3? stay with v6 power
over_head_cam Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Surely someone out there has a carbed 2.8 knocking around Direct replacement Those extra cc's certainly made a difference to my mk4
MK5 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Posted October 27, 2007 i thought it was a 2.3? stay with v6 power yes she is, although at the moment she's a V3 at best, V1 most of the time!!
ASBO CAPRI Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Thats an easy conversion then. 2.8i will bolt straight in and u already have carb manifold some people say a carbed 2.8 makes more power than injection one.
MK5 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Posted October 27, 2007 does anyone have an engine...? i'm kinda desperate as this is my daily driver...
Mk 1 Mark Posted October 28, 2007 Report Posted October 28, 2007 There is a 2.8 capri on pistonheads for £250 engine and box straight in and a set of bilsteins...... And break the rest for some money back... axle trim ect Sure My mate paul kent has a few carb conversions in his garage for a 2.8/3.0 ltr
MK5 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Posted October 29, 2007 will keep it in mind, don't really want injection cos of the extra work involved
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 yukspeed rally spares has a 2.8 engine out of a capri my next projects (not my cortina im still saving for my next project at moment) gonna be v6 2.8 injection powered go for it
